Be prepared before the
practice starts. Have all the equipment you need ready and set up
your practice grids before the team arrives.
- Stand in a position where all players can hear
you and explain the objective of the drill and key coaching points
very briefly.
- Have volunteers demonstrate the drill and make
corrections until they get it right. Demonstrate yourself only if
necessary.
- Ask players for anything they might not have
understood and clarify.
- Stand outside of the drill area, not in the
middle.
- Observe players and see if they can solve any
issues by themselves.
- If you need to correct, stop the drill, very
briefly explain/demonstrate what went wrong and how to correct
it.
- Praise players for correcting it.
- Observe again.
- If the group is successful and there is time
left, increase the complexity to keep players challenged. For
example, ask to execute drill at a higher speed or to a higher
level of perfection, or both.
- For a 15-20 minute drill, the coach must not take
more than 3 minutes with explanations and demonstrations. A lot of
coaches take the large part of drill time and don't give the
players a chance.
- The coach shouldn't be sweating and be tired, the
players must be.
